WilmerHale‘s antitrust team is experienced in antitrust proceedings, where it primarily represents large players in cartel damages proceedings as well as national and cross-border antitrust administration and fine proceedings; here, the team acts in both the defense against and the enforcement of claims. Another mainstay is merger control support, thanks to the close cooperation with the locations in Brussels, London and the US. The team is jointly led by Ulrich Quack (merger control), Stefan Ohlhoff and Hans-Georg Kamann, the latter two are both experienced in cartel damages.
